If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell changed the rules it would be “bad for the country,” Schumer said.

“He doesn’t come to this court with clean hands, because he delayed Merrick Garland for a year, a year-and-a-half,” Schumer said, noting the hard feelings over McConnell’s delay for President Obama’s nominee.
Schumer is also demanding a vote on Gorsuch be put on hold “for a few months” pending the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged links to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

“Let’s see where this investigation goes for a few months and delay it,” Schumer said.
